Answer:

0.2709

Explanation:

Given that 1 earthquake occurs in 3 months

∴Number of earthquake that will occur in 1 month = 1 / 3

∴ The waiting time of the earthquake to occur can be shown as

X\sim exp(\frac{1}{3})

And since it is a poisson distribution as mentioned, the waiting time is always exponential.

Now the probability of the next earthquake that will occur after three but before seven months is

P(3

                     = e^{-\frac{3}{3}}-e^{-\frac{7}{3}}

                     = 0.2709

∴ The probability of ht waiting time is 0.2709

How does the speed of light change in water compared to air
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Light travels in waves, and we call this traveling propagation. Propagation of waves has both a speed and a direction, called the velocity. The velocity of light changes depends on the material it travels through.

Light waves can be changed in a few different ways. Reflection is when the waves bounce off a surface and change direction, like when they hit a mirror or pool of water. Diffraction spreads out light waves as well

What is ghe difference between insulation and terrestrial radiation <br>​
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Insolation is the amount of solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface through shortwaves. The earth also radiates heat energy like all other hot object. This is known as terrestrial radiation. The annual mean temperature on the surface of the earth is always constant.

Explanation:

The energy emitted by the sun is known as solar radiation. The incoming solar radiation to the earth is known as insolation. Radiation from the earth is called terrestrial radiation.

Answer:

Solar radiation is all the radiant energy emitted by the sun. Solar irradiance is the power per unit area received from the Sun in the form of electromagnetic radiation measured in space or at the Earth's surface. Isolation is the total solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface.
